| - | |
| Equal to Jove that youth must be | B |
| Greater than Jove he seems to me | B |
| Who free from Jealousy's alarms | C |
| Securely views thy matchless charms | C |
| That cheek which ever dimpling glows | D |
| That mouth from whence such music flows | D |
| To him alike are always known | E |
| Reserved for him and him alone | E |
| Ah Lesbia though 'tis death to me | B |
| I cannot choose but look on thee | B |
| Whilst trembling with a thousand fears | F |
| Parch'd to the throat my tongue adheres | F |
| My pulse beats quick my breath heaves short | G |
| My limbs deny their slight support | G |
| Cold dews my pallid face o'erspread | G |
| With deadly langour droops my head | G |
| My ears with tingling echoes ring | H |
| And life itself is on the wing | H |
| My eyes refuse the cheering light | G |
| Their orbs are veil'd in starless night | G |
| Such pangs my nature sinks beneath | I |
| And feels a temporary death | J |
